Michael L. Weinstein, Davin Seay

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Beware of religious fascists
More than two years ago the author of this book started the Military Religious Freedom Foundation as a watchdog to make the military obey the laws of separation of Church and State. His concern started with a specific evil at his alma mater, the Air Force Academy, the chronic harassment and intimidation by evangelicals to pressure Catholics, liberal Christians, Jews, and others to assent to a ...

Population Health and Aging: Strengthening the Dialogue Between Epidemiology and Demography (Annals of the ...

New York Academy of Sciences, 2001

Population Health is an emerging field that draws heavily on two disciplines: demography and epidemiology. In recent years, as demographers have become increasingly interested in health transitions and trajectories and as epidemiologists have become increasingly interested in population-level disease dynamics, the two fields have converged in many ways. But their separate histories, cultures, languages, organizations, and missions have ...

Globalization: What's New?

1 review

Columbia University Press, 2005

much of the same
This book is useful for upper-division or graduate courses as a reference for contemporary issues of globalization from a mainstream Liberal stance- though with sufficient variation of viewpoints to foment debate. Read especially Stiglitz's chapter as well as rodrik's piece; they are well thought out criticisms of globalization which do not take a polarizing approach to the issues of the day.

What an 11 Bravo CIB holder thinks about this book.
I saw the authors on Book TV when the book first came out. They were so non-dogmatic and sensible I just had to read their book. It is everything good that the professional reviews mention. Terrorism is so complex and so difficult to control. But it is a fact that terrorists and war generally do not come from democracies so spreading democracy could be our best weapon against terrorism. The book ...

Michael Weinstein

Cypress House, 2004

What a completely cool book
This is a terrific little book. Weinstein starts with the basics--the principles of what makes paper airplanes fly, and the principles of paper-folding that will be utilized throughout the book--and thenproceeds to show in perfect detail how to build nearly three dozen unique paper airplanes. Even the simplest ones are far more impressive than anything you are likely to have created on your ...

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.

Exceptional review of major religions, possibilities of vibrant life
Seriously underappreciated work and thinker. Contains compelling overview of the major religions' efforts to make "being good." Also surveys Western efforts to describe human beings without taking seriously their embodied experiences. Claims "vitalist" origins for critiques, but also influenced by post-modernist, existential, psychoanalytic, and individualist perspectives. One of the most ...

The Imaginative Prose of Oliver Wendell Holmes

1 review
Michael A. Weinstein

University of Missouri Press, 2006

Showing importance of father of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Excellent treatment of famous Supreme Court justice's once very famous father. Places many of Holmes, Sr's issues and strengths into current context of the decline of the "public intellectual." Offers a convincing and wide-ranging reading bringing Holmes into larger search for an "American vision" of the best society and the problems of pluralistic culture. Fine example of recent American ...
